Different Types of Commercial Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machines-ice-makers-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City

restaurant-ice-machine-repair-rental-service-Kansas-City

There are literally hundreds of different commercial ice machines models available on the market today and finding the right one for your business can be a bit confusing. Depending on how much ice your business actually needs or uses in one day is the primary factor that determines which type of ice machine will suit you best.

Commercial Ice Machine Sales, Service and Rentals in Kansas City and Overland Park

commercial-ice-machines-ice-makers-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City

At Capital Equipment, we don’t just provide sales and service for commercial ice equipment but instead we consult with businesses and business owners to determine which ice machine will fit their needs and their budget as well. There are 4 primary types of ice machines and each produces different amounts of ice and different functions however each does require a water supply, water filters and professional installation which Capital Equipment provides.

Modular/Head Ice Machines

commercial-ice-machines-in-Kansas-City-Overland-Park-Lees-Summit

For businesses that use enormous amounts of ice, a modular/head unit is the right choice for commercial ice machines. They can easily produce up to 1000 lbs. or more of ice per day but they do need a separate storage bit for the ice below. Modular/head unit ice machines are ideal for high volume bars/restaurants as they can be integrated with soda dispensers and are also used in many warehouses and large offices.

Under-counter Ice Machines

rent-ice-machines-makers-KC-KCMO-Kansas-City-MO

Under-counter ice machines are often seen in businesses like bars and coffee shops as they are space efficient and are an “all-in-one” solution as they include the ice machine maker as well as storage bin in one unit. There are a variety of sizes of under-counter ice machines but most are made to fit under a 40 inch counter. One of the main advantages of an under-counter ice machine is that it easily accessible when serving customers from a bar or counter.

Counter-top Ice Machines

The health care profession uses an immense amount of ice and counter top ice machines are ideal for their industry. The ease of access and ability to make hundreds of pounds of ice per day while taking up little space when compared to larger modular/head unit ice machines make for an efficient way access ice for patients and staff. Plus, the internal ice bins keeps the ice clean and sanitized provided they have routine maintenance and cleaning which is mandatory for the health care industry.

Ice/Water Dispenser Combos

Kansas-City-commercial-ice-machines-makers-equipment-rental-repair-service

For small to medium sized offices of businesses, an ice/water combination dispenser is ideal. The water filters not only insures that the ice is clean and clear but also remove the “tap water” taste making employees more likely to stay hydrated which is proven to improve health and productivity.

No matter which type of ice machines your business needs, Capital Equipment helps Kansas City area businesses buy, rent and lease them along with provide professional service and repair.

How Commercial Ice Machines Work

ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning-maintenance

Scotsman-commercial-ice-machine-Kansas-City

Everyone know that ice forms when you have water and temperatures at or below freezing but have you ever thought about how ice machines actually work? At Capital Equipment, all we do is service and sales for commercial ice machines in the greater Kansas City area and each day we use our knowledge of how ice equipment actually produces ice to help our customers keep their ice bins full.

Commercial Ice Machines and Ice Equipment in Kansas City and Overland Park

newly-installed-ice-machine-Kansas-City

Put simply, there are three main components needed for a commercial ice machine to work:

  1. A Refrigeration System
  2. A Water Supply
  3. A Way To Collect the Ice

That seems simple but ice machines are far from it. While there are a variety of different types of ice machines, we’ll focus on one of the most common which is a metal ice cube tray.  The ice tray is connected to a series of coiled heat-exchanging pipes which are similar to what you would see on the back of your home refrigerator. A compressor pushes a refrigerant fluid through these pipes where they will narrow (condense) and then flow into a wider tube (evaporator) where  the liquid will expand. When refrigerant is compressed, it raises it’s pressure which also will raise it’s temperature and is it goes through the more narrow coils it will lose its heat and condense into a liquid. Now that the compressed liquid passes through  expansion valve , it will evaporate and become a gas which attracts heat from the surrounding pipes and the air around the refrigerant which, in turn, cools the pipes and the ice tray.

ice-machine-service-repair-cleaning-maintenance

Water is then brought in from a filter and a pump gradually so that it is frozen layer by layer which creates the clear ice that you often see in restaurants and hotels. If you’re ice is white, cloudy and has a milky look, then there’s obviously a problem and you need to call us. There are a variety of ways the ice is then removed from the tray and into the bin but in most cases it gets a little nudge or the ice tray is has a downward angle so the cubes slide out on their own.

ice-machine-water-filter-filters

There are countless more components that enable commercial ice machines to, well, make ice and Capital Equipment’s service and repair team knows how to narrow down what’s ailing your equipment quickly and efficiently.  We buy all of our parts in bulk so that it saves our customer money because we know which parts are more likely to fail and we make certain that we have them on hand at all times.
